Review 1 for Fable Anniversary

Waited years for relaunch, Weeks for release date

Posted on:9/11/13

Since this is a preview I'll keep it short and sweet. The original Fable game, added on with The Lost Chapters, is the greatest Fable game out there. Fable II and Fable III do not even compare to the original. Fable The Lost Chapters actually has a variety of armor, tons of quests, and all around greatness that Fable II and III never offered. Armor actually has valued stats and powers to make them worth while. I am a huge fan of Fable The Lost Chapters, and have been waiting forever for a remake. Once it was finally announced I was extremely excited, and have been waiting weeks for it to finally be available for pre-order, and to have a release date. I highly suggest you look into Fable Anniversary more if you enjoy an armor-filled, quest packed adventure of Greatness.

I loved the first one, in fact still have the xbox 1 version of it. I personally loved the 2nd and third. Third in my opinion held the best of graphics, such as that intro video with that chicken. The one for kinect I never played so can't put input on that. But I do know I love the fact that they are remaking this and according to the description it will contain extras along with the Lost Chapters. Can't wait!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen I am sorry to announce that they have did it again. LionHead has taken one of my favorite games and turned it into well words that i cant say, I loved fable the lost chapters fable anniversary is a must return to seller game. Maybe i just got the bad copy but my copy was one of the most glitchiest games ive ever played. how can they take a game thats already made and mess it up. I had people doing the Michael jackson walk. images would flash during the cutscenes that shouldn't be there, and the sounds would cut in and out and i didnt get to hear half the game. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this game. ive already beaten the game with all side quest, all keys found, all chests unlocked, all demon doors open, 100% complete. the best part of this game is unfortunately the loading screen. my game will be returned and ill stick to playing the lost chapters. the extra download content that you have to purchase from the stores in game isn't worth 40$ sorry but 2 thumbs down.

A New Beginning

Out of all the fable series Fable The Lost Chapters was my number 1 Favorite. fable was one of my first favorite games and really got me into the xbox franchise, i was disapointed with fable 2 and 3 so its refreshing to have this game back out with achievments graffics change and it would be nice if they had some pre order bonuses. and for those looking for fable legends it will be on xbox one and xbox 360.

Quite the hype

Posted 12/30/13

The original Fable is what molded my childhood gaming. Years later I would always recommend it to friends who played other Fable games but they wouldn't be interested due to the old graphics. Now they won't be able to turn down this gem of a game, and this game will be able to shine again for all the kids of this generation. I'll definitely be buying this game again.

Fable Anniversary is epic. Just like the original it blows 2 and 3 out of the water!! I love both 2 and 3 but the first one is truly a master piece. I recommend it fully to anyone. Being good or evil is an absolute blast! now to the downfalls of Anniversary, I Hated the freezing and crashes. made me mad to no end, but It got better and didn't crash much whenever I downloaded the game on my hard drive so yay! lol. and another would be the pixels at the bottom of the screen, but higher resolution ended up fixing the problem. On top of those annoying problems an overall amazing rendition of the original. Fable is an RPG worth your effort and explore the wonderful world of Albion to its fullest.

Fabe 1 w/lost chapters was my favorite fable out of the series. Fable 2 was pretty good, okay compared to this one, but fable 3 took the whole series down hill. I heard fable the journey was not much of an accomplishment either. Fable heroes was a "cute" little arcade game. Fable 1 brings the perfect combination of dark fantasy with humor, action, and folklore. It has awesome looking weapons and armor. Your armor actually mattered in this one unlike the others. In the others your clothing was just for looks. The missions are great and not repetitive. Your villains actually seem to be alive and not robots. The role playing aspect really comes out in fable 1. Your choices actually do matter. Overall= great game, gameplay, graphics, plot, story, heroes, villains, good or evil, kick chickens

I am glad that they finally redid Fable I have waited for this ever since Fable two came out. The gameplay is all the same as before, just wishing the graphics were a bit better. In all this is a wonderful game for all types of players and would recommend it to everyone.

Review 7 for Fable Anniversary

The best Fable.

Posted on:11/9/13

Location: Troy, NY

Personally, I was completely disappointed with Fable 2 and 3 -- VERY disappointed. But this game (and The Lost Chapters) is a different story. This was one of the five reasons I even wanted an Xbox. Even though I still have an Xbox, and I still have the first 1st Fable (and The Lost Chapters too), I'll get this anyhow, as I'd like to experience this again in hi def. My 360 needs some use, and this is just what it ordered.

When I played the first Fable game, I was completely captivated. I felt like I was part of the game, locked inside a world apart. It was as if the whole of my imagination was being put on display for me right before my eyes. It was a million different things for me, and every one of them unique and non-delivered by any other. It pleases me very much to know that a new generations has a opportunity to enjoy something that I myself enjoyed so much.

I own every Fable Title & Mini Game released on console & have been waiting & stalking Gamestop & Lionhead Studio every week for a release date since this HD, Achievement loaded reboot was announced. Very Excited, will be Pre-Ordering. Very refreshing after Fable The Journey to start over & hopefully this will be a good direction indication for Fable Legends for 2014. Very Excited!!!

its been a almost a decade sence ive really enjoyed a fabel game. 2 and 3 were ok but nothing comepared to the 1st

Fable was the SOLE reason I went from the PS2 to the Xbox and one of the MAIN reasons I have been an Xbox supporter since.When I first heard of this Anniversary Edition of this timeless classic I became EXTREMELY excited. I have always wanted to see Fable with updated graphics and Lionhead/Microsoft Studios has made my dream come true! A definite reservation!

I purchased this the day it came out, but was sadly disappointed . Don't get me wrong, I have been a hardcore fable fan from the beginning in 2004, but I feel that the creators "high-quality graphics" are sadly lacking. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have this instant classic for my 360, but I feel that they should have put in a little more effort considering the average look of video games today. The graphics in this game are blotchy, and bulbous and half the time the cutscenes are literally cut off screen. Not mention a few vendor misplacements. In my opinion if you want to buy this game, get the original for PC, it does the game way more justice.

Wow really??

I'm a HUGE fan of the fable series. And I cheered for joy when this was announced. However as more details were unveiled, lionhead studios left a bad taste in my mouth. The most crucial part of the game is being left out, The Lost Chapters... Back when fable was released, Microsoft rushed the game out before it was finished, later that year they released another version of the game called the lost chapters which was suppose to be part of the finished product. Now they push back the promised release date to next year and they chose to leave out the best part of the game probably to be part of some sort of paid DLC. I refuse to be nickled and dimed any further. I will sadly not be getting this.

Fable Anniversary, is all about fun and funny, all at the same time. I'm just glad the 1st FABLE was finally HD and remastered. If you love the FABLE series then this one needs to be in your collection, without a doubt, simply the best, a real gem.

I was when i heard about the release for this game, since Fable was my favorite game on the original Xbox. Now i wish i had researched ahead before i bought it. First off, the frame rate is pretty bad (noticeable if you look to the bottom of the screen). The camera movement is choppy, graphics aren't much different than the original, and I've been reading that the game will freeze up on you, making me hesitant to even play. I've seen rushed released before, but this is just ridiculous. Lionhead will not be getting any money from me again.

Review 15 for Fable Anniversary

Is it worth it?

Posted on:12/2/13

RogerTheDog

Location: MD

Fable 1 is definitely a classic game still worth playing again for anyone who loved Fable in the past, and those new to the series, this is the best start. Even with the bump to fable 2 graphics I'm not sure its worth $40 at most I'd say $20. For example, the Resident 4 HD version was $20 and worth it. Although fable 1 is probably the best fable currently out, the campaign and side missions don't take long to play through. The different area's/levels aren't that big and can be ran through rather fast.. The $40 price tag is a bit much for an original Xbox game. I'd wait til it drops in price. However, this is a great game to play especially for anyone interested in Fable Legends coming out in the future!

Fable TLC was a great game, it added more content and for the time that it came out it was pretty innovative. This remake adds literally NOTHING aside from slightly enhanced graphics... i would have been okay with the game if they took the time to add more content to it! They should have added several new areas, weapons and enemies. For the price it's just not worth it. If you can get your hands on Fable TLC for PC or Xbox you will be better off. Until the price comes down to at least 20 dollars this is not worth the asking price. It's a shame because it is the best of the series since it has gone down hill and become a button mashing kiddie game.

I mean, why let the modding community do what you can do for $40 and half the effort, right? Sure, the design is updated, but that's all you need to pull money out of suckers' wallets these days.

Save your money and just stick to the original release. There's no reason why you need to pay DRASTICALLY more money for SLIGHTLY better game design.

Review 18 for Fable Anniversary

Is it Worth it?

Posted on:11/3/13

SuperlativeNerd

I love the Fable games. I've played Fable II and Fable III and have enjoyed playing them (I have not played the one for Kinect because I avoid those games like the plague). I have never played the first game, but I have seen some of the game played by other people. It looks to be similar to Fable II (so that should be cool), but I worry about how long the game will be due to the low price of the game. Usually, the lower the price of the game, the less time it takes to play it and beat it. So, although it looks cool and fun, I'm going to hold off on buying it.

Thanks for explaining why the price is so low, guys. I didn't even think that the reason for it was that this game is a remake. That makes much more sense! XD

So Worth It.

Posted 11/18/13

A lot of people, myself included, regard the first Fable game as the best. The price is marked down because it is a remake of a nearly 10 year old game. Microsoft did the same with Halo Anniversary.

The reason its priced lower is because it was released on the first Xbox and they dont think they should charge full price for a game over ten years old kinda like the halo remake.

This game is great just like the first one no differences in the quests or story or at least so far I've seen. They upped the graphics and since it moved to the 360 they included add-ons! For example you want to wear Jack of Blades armor buy the add-on! They incorporated even more armors and more weapons with the extra content if you liked fable 2 or even fable 3 or if you are a huge fan of the original then get this game it will make you happy you got it and you wont regret it!
